Discovery Days
Aki's tae kwon do instructor came to our class last Friday for our latest Discovery Day. The kids learned about believing in themselves, being good listeners, and working hard. I'm sure you also heard about their board-breaking abilities!
If you would like to participate in Discovery Days, please let me know. I invite parents or special guests to present on Friday mornings. There are several dates available after we come back on track. In the past, parents have done art projects, talked about their jobs, and showed pictures from trips. We love learning from you!

Historical Fiction Book Report
By now, all of the kids have a book picked out for their historical fiction book report. Several kids are done reading! Please make sure your child is making progress on the report. This book report is due Friday, April 30. If your child has misplaced the directions for the book report, they can be found here:

The only change would be on the Souvenirs section; I'm only requiring three souvenirs.
This week's question: What are the best projects your child has been assigned over the years?

Lexile Levels
This week your child brought home a paper with his or her lexile level for reading. Attached to this sheet was a list of books matching your child's interests and reading ability. If you are interested in finding more books on your child's level, visit http://www.lexile.com/findabook/parents.aspx and enter the lexile level.
What are some of your child's favorite books? Right now the kids are enjoying Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the Percy Jackson books, Fablehaven, Rangers Apprentice, and Harry Potter. What others are being enjoyed at your house?
